WORKING FOR THEIR FRIENDS.
Electioneering has been very spirited
for some time, and especially was this
the case Saturday and yesterday. Up
to midnight last night there was a large
crowd at the county courthouse, and
great deal of lobbying was being done.
Wire working was the order of the hour,
and money was spent with free and
lavish hand.
Nearly all Of the candidates were
present, and they and their friends
made the best possible use Of every OPP
portunity that presented itself. When
the crowd began to disperse last night
it was stated that Taylor was ahead for
the treasuryship, and that Mr.. Beve-
ridge was pushing Mr.. Thomas close
ly for Commonwealth attorney, if,
indeed, he did not have the advantage
More interest is felt in these Offices
than any of the rest.
